No, the Mustang doesn’t have the mind-boggling 104:0 air-to-air kill ratio of the F-15 Eagle, the 135:4 kill ratio of the F-14 Tomcat (sorry, Top Gun fans), or the 76:1 kill ratio of the F-16 Fighting Falcon. What made the P-51D such a special fighter plane? So then, which warbird deserves the title of Best Fighter Plane Ever? Obviously a highly subjective matter, and one that’s going to stir to sit up some controversy no matter what answer I give, so as I type this I’m mentally prepping to duck the rotten tomatoes that some readers are bound to throw my way for my answer: the North American P-51 Mustang, more specifically the P-51D Mustang. ![]()
